Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1887-08-22

MR. CHAMBERLAIN 10 any loyal subJece
or any freshman who does not desire to com
init outrage admit that there is less crime
and outrage in Ireland now than for many
years past but why is this so: 1t is because
those who have stimulated disorder and
winked at outrage have discovered that the
law is stronger than they, and that in future
breakers must pay the penalty of their
miSdeeds.
II regret also that the government saw fit to
proclaim the league, and think they made a
mistake in doing so, though | am precluded
from condemning the proclamation in strong
language. But | am afraid the course the
government pursued will land them in the
midst of the gravest difficulties An Irish
landlord asked me to oppose the policy of
proclaiming the league, because, he said, the
league was already losing its influence in
parts of Ireland and summary measures will
do it more good than harm
Continuing Chamberlain said: 1.-THE gov
eminent is responsible, not we. If they think
it imperative to use their power | don't
blame them for doing so, but | claim for my
self and my colleagues the right to continue
to occupy the attitude we have hitherto as
sumed of independent friends of the govern

Chamberlain spoke very kindly of Glad
stone, and declared that the country had
never wavered in its loyalty to him. He
thought, however, that he was grevously
mistaken. The speech was very long and the
speaker was frequently applauded.

peculiarly well pronounced when the east
ern is compared with the western coast of
the United States.
1.-The mean isotherm of 50o, which passes
through New York, latitude Ale, bears
northward as it crosses the continent,
touching the Pacific at Yancouver's Island,
latitude 49o
Mature also draws isotherms in her dis
tribution of trees ard plants. While, on
the eastern coast, i600 is the northern limit
of conifere, they are found as high as go
and 100 in regions adjoining the Pacific.
1t is thus evident that the climate of north
ern California is much more temperate than
that of the Eastern States which are stu
ated in the same latitude. This does not
hold true of southern California. Here the
conditions are reversed. San Diego, in the
same latitude as Charleston, is 80 cooler.
San Francisco and Washington, in the same
latitude and having the same mean annual
temperature, have climates very dissimilar,
owing to the great difference between the
mean summer and winter temperatures OF
Washington, which amounts to 400, and
the small difference in San Francisco being
not over So"
PROOF IN CONCLUSION.
We conclude this article with an ex-
tract from the report of the Chief Sig
nal Service Officer for 1884, as illustra-
tive of the claim for northern and Central
California that the region is the most lnvlt-
ing for winter tourists, and to once more
and finally disabuse the mind of the East
ern reader of the idea that cold and Sc
verify must of necessity be associated with
all of California in winter not distinctively
southern. The extract fairly stands for
the great Sacramento valley and foothin
region winter temperature, as we select
Sacramento for one point of illustration
and Red Bluff, at the extreme north, for
another:

happy mean between heat and cold. dry

scenery, drives, springs and society, max
ing il one of the most desirable retreats in
the State. In the same county, further
north, are Healdsburg and Clover6ale. and
intermediate towns, with accommodations
for winter refugees. The climate of all the
valley region of Sonoma is admirable, and
the Eastern tourist will find it as health
giving, inyigorating and genial as he can
wish for. 1t has not the enerva.ing effect
of more tropical sections; it has not the
rawness and humidity of northern coast.
TO THE EAST
OF Sonoma county, and north of the bay of
San Francisco, is Napa county 1--WE are
compelled to pass hastily 1t is a long,
narrow valley, mainly walled in between
two picturesque ranges in summer warm :;

tons as a sanitarium-upc the coast, but
the stranger will find Californians very
evenly divided in opinion as to which is
the best winter retreat, Napa valley or the
sheltered hooks of Marin county, Saucelito
and San Rafael.
STILL FURTHER NORTH
We have Lake county, more elevated,
somewhat mountainous, more bracipg,
never raw, and possessed of more mineral
springs, summer resorts and watering
places than any county in the State. 1t is
sparsely settled, however, due TO its mac
cessibiliiv bv rail. disadvantage that will
disappear within six months, as three lines
of railway are now in conten platiop, and
one in process of construction. In this
county are some of the loveliest high alti-
tude lakes in the world. Lake county is
destined early to be the most noted springs
resort upon the entire Pacific coast.
COMING EASTWARD
We enter again the great Sacran ento val
lie, free from coast winds and fog, and by
score of lovely spots inviting the winter
tourist. Colusa county has the broadcast
spread of tillable lands of any of the
counties we have named. 1t is cut by
line of railway pushing for Oregon ard
connecting it with Sacramento and San
Francisco. The climate is much like that
of Sacramento, and for healthfulness is of
a high order Colusa, the county seat, is
thriving young city of good society, and
provided with ample accommodations for
visitors. Several mineral springs are To-
Gated in this county, and are popular re-
sorts. 1t is wholly an agricultural region.
The scenery is that of broad expanse-
distant mountain ranges, oak openings,
rolling foothills, cultivated lands and
majestic river.

Right here let it be noted and kept in
mind that in all the valleys throughout
northern and Central California, with here

perform their daily work in their shirt

proof of the equabiiity of our climate can
